Lately Firefox started looking more atractive again. Mostly because of Chrome's feature creep. But probably I'm just overthinking it.

#12I might be more impressed if I didn't use FireBug.
They aren't mutually exclusive, they complement each other. At the end of the video, using the new developer toolbar, he enables Firebug, and shows off that there are now Firebug specific commands that have been added to the toolbar.

#13Favorite feature of the dev toolbar: it has a "screenshot" command to dump a PNG of either the entire page or a specific block.
Is this one better than the extensions that already existed for taking screenshots?

#14Reminds me of:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquity_(Firefox)
Tying this down to the specific domain of web development will probably help its longevity though.
I'm very excited about the add-your-own feature and hope it's similar.

Don't know about parent poster, but I think:
a) It's better to have it baked into the browser in general, if it's something you use. Worse if it's not, though.
b) Screenshots with selectors are pretty awesome, and I don't think most extensions would provide that

Made the switch today because of this, and a few other features and improvements since I last used firefox.

Which extension are your referencing. I'm currently using Page Saver but previously used Awesome Screenshot Plus until they started intercepting pages and spamming adverts to them by default. Having it in-browser is good.
Also I've not seen a screenshot tool that allowed an id to be specified before as someone said this will/does.

#18If you have a HiDPI display (ips or retina mac), Jonathon Kew's patchset to add this feature to Firefox has landed in the Aurora branch.
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/lates...
There are 18a2 builds in there, I'm using it now! However, I haven't seen it mentioned on the main aurora release page, so proceed with caution.

#19If Firefox had a GUI that didn't rely on the window manager's decorations (a la chrome), I would switch in a heartbeat.
As it stands, using Firefox on Linux (Openbox) feels like a huge step back from Chrome.

#20The shortcut to bring it up (fn+shift+f2) is pretty unwieldy on the Mac keyboard.
Anyone have any idea on how to change the shortcut? No luck in about:config.
